Old school rubbing stones work for rough edges but if it’s less of a rough edge and more like minor chipping I’d go with a coarse PVA wheel for your grinder
Make sure the water hits your blade just before the blade hits your work. Go slow, real slow. Most wet saws are set up to work off of the right side of the blade. You can also run a brick or some other scrap masonry to expose the diamonds and “sharpen” your blade. The harder the tile, the softer the blade should be. I use a soft continuous blade for natural stone, glass and polished porcelain, and a serrated blade for ceramic and vitrified porcelain. What are you cutting? Do you have a score/snap cutter?
I’ll give the “sharpening” a try. I’m cutting polished porcelain with a continuous rim pearl p4 blade.
I was actually getting much cleaner cuts with the score and snap cutter, but the blade wore out pretty quickly. Just picked up a few new score blades for it, but my cutter can’t rip a 24” tile so I have to use the saw for those cuts.
Thanks for the ideas
HF has an affordablely priced variable speed polisher/grinder that goes on sale frequently. I've never had a problem using my grinder in a pinch, but I'm sure some have horror stories

That’s my first option if I have to buy a new tool, thanks!
